Check-up = Check Plus

The dreaded appointment is over. We got a wonderful report today. Abby weighed-in at 17 lbs 4 oz. Her head is 17.25 inches, and she is 27 inches long. She is 98th percentile on height, 90th percentile on noggin size, and 75th percentile on weight. Basically, she is tall and skinny, as if she needed to be any more like Steve. She received 4 shots today, including a flu shot. Her cry was heart breaking. She has to get a flu booster in a month, but after that she is finished with shots until 12 months. We go back in January to just check in and see how she's growing. We have the green light for juices, water, sippy cups, and a bunch of other stuff that makes me nervous.

I feel clueless. Does anyone know if she can have cheerioes before she gets a tooth? Won't she choke?!?

She won't choke! She'll gum them til they're nice and soggy. We actually broke the Cheerios in half when we first started giving them to the kids. That probably wasn't necessary, but it made us feel better! As long as you give them to her one at a time, she should be fine! COngrats on a great checkup!
